Ferragamo Bangle

I wore this bangle today from Ferragamo. My friends find it cute. I find it a bit sassy. Its sleek and simple Logo can be paired with casual tees and jeans. The olive green leather is easy to match with pastel colored tops. It can also be worn during dressier occassions as long as what I'm wearing is simple and not too loud, so as not to clash with the bold silver Ferragamo logo. It doesn't scream tacky and gaudy. It looks chic that's why it's one of my favorite day to day accesory. The bangle also comes in a violet shade. But I prefer this color coz i find it more wearable. The leather is soft to the skin, so you won't get irritated while wearing it. It comes with a nice pouch and box. The best part is the price coz it's reasonable. I could just find a thousand and one ways to mix and match or infuse it with any of my outfits. I just love this! I'm sure you'll also like it once you get hold of it.

Cellex-C Eye Gel

While I was busy rummaging thru piles and piles of creams and lotions at Sasa in HK. I saw this cute eye gel. It has a bottle stopper as a cover. Cellex-C eye contour gel. I know it's a good brand coz I'm a big fan of their skin perfecting gel for pimples. I asked the SA which is better coz they also have Cellex-C eye balm. In her broken English she tried in vain to convince me that its better to get both the eyebalm and gel. Since I was already starting to have a headache coz of her accent, i decided to buy the eye gel alone. I thought to myself ha! You can never sales talk me! At the hotel after washing my face I got so excited to try it. It's direction says that using the pipette I have to squeeze 1 or 2 drops on my finger. Then I have to gently apply the product around the orbital bone and the outside areas of each eye. Then follow with moisturizing eye cream.It is best used with Cellex eye balm. I was like uh-oh! Not one to get easily dissuaded I told myself maybe the eye gel can perform on it's own. But alas, when I tried it I suddenly remembered that annoying SA. So she was indeed telling the truth. The gel doesn't feel like gel at all, it felt more like water. It can easily drip on the cheeks if you don't carefully dab and pat it. The application was more of a tedious task for me. I guess you really have to pair it with the balm or better yet I shouldve gotten the balm instead so it will just stay put and be less messy. On the positive note, the gel feels tingly and tight on the skin. The undereye area feels stretched, taut and pulled. If only I had gotten the Cellex-C eyebalm then there will be maximum absorption and it would have been the perfect icing in this eye care regimen. Tsk...tsk...

Silver Miroir LV Agenda

When I first saw this silver miroir LV agenda I immediately fell in love due mostly to aesthetic reasons. I have always been fascinated with the miroir line just because I find it a bit blingie. I thought it would be a handsome accessory to my purse. I know I don't really need this coz' I have my trusty palm pilot and I- touch that can easily organize my files an do the works,but something about this thing just makes me want to have it. I'm fully aware of bein impractical but the obsessive-compulsive side of me is giving me sleepless nights over this thing.



When I touched this beauty, I marvel for a few minutes about how exquisitely it is done. Tracing the embossed emblem makes my fingers tingle with excitement. It has card holders inside and calendar and cute mini L.V. fillers. But after awhile the thrill dies down and as usual I ask myself now what? Days, weeks and months passed by and I'm still not using it. There's a part of me that hates to destroy it's pages with my stupid doodles. I feel guilty every time I see it get dusty in my cabinet. Selfish that I only got it for self-gratification purposes. Oh well, perhaps someday I may get to finally use this if my palm conks out. It is still a beauty in my eyes...a frozen beauty.

Have you ever purchased something you don't need yet want? That is my constant dilemma. Sigh!

Alpha Arbutin Lotion Review

                                                                         Alpha Arbutin
                                                              with AHA and Sunblock
                                
                                             -lightens age spots
                                             -safely whitens the skin
                                             -provides UVA/UVB/UVC filter
                                             -dissolves dead cells in the dermis

   I was tempted to buy this product based on the positive feedbacks i've been reading over the net. Good thing i'm in search of a lotion that will complement the arbutin soap that i am using. I got the 1 liter size just in case i like the product so that i wont have to reorder for a long time. When my package arrived i immediately thought how generic looking the bottle is or cheap looking i may say for a P2,400 price tag! This better be worth it or instant moolah down the drain. When i appllied it in my arms, i noticed the rich and thick consistency of the cream. You have to continuously rub it in your skin in order for the lotion to penetrate deeply. Good thing it smells nice so applying becomes a pleasure. I noticed that after awhile the greasy feeling goes away and whats left is just soft, smooth skin that lasts until the next day. As for the whitening factor, i still have to check a few more weeks coz i've just been using it for 5 days. But so far, irregardless of the whitening effect, im happy with this nice discovery. The only setback is the price but who cares if it will grant my skin's desires...
